a week later I left an e-mail. no reply.

for the last week I have been unable to access the site.

seem to recall that they may have been bought, I am trying to find out if they will repair/replace my cutter that has a damaged blade. it was a gift from Mikey and I really like it.

anyone been in touch with them recently?

If you can't get satisfaction, I have around a dozen of them that I got here for dirt cheap. I'll be glad to mail you a couple.

Yeah but I heard that leaves the cutter smelling like rotten taco meat. [gonzo]

Thanks, Adam.

Eventually I got around to calling. Nice guy named Julio calls me back next day, yadda yadda yadda…

got a replacement in the mail today.

Think I mailed it to them 10 days ago, included a $7 check, so very swift turnaround. Haven't used it, I can tell it's not quite up to the quality that Mikey sent me several years ago, but have to report a satisfactory experience.

and it says Lifetime Warranty in the new box too.

Agreed. I was picking them up here for $4-$5 each, and won a bunch. No where near as good as the original ones. If they want $7 to send them back under warranty, then the ones I have are now "throw away" cutters.

Just saw this,,,, damn internet cutters.

Mikey!

I loved that Palio you sent, I don't know how or when the blades chipped. Must have been on a thick, woody vein or the like...

yours had more weight, snapped smoother, may have even been able to handle a larger ring gauge. Haven't used the new one yet, I'm sure it works, but I'll miss the quality.

Good to see ya, bruddah! Still teaching?

Hope things are going your way

a work in progress over here.

Always happy for you.
